A Handbook of Integration with Refugees cover

A guide for practitioners and academics seeking to learn how refugees might be positively integrated into communities

This book brings together the voices of academics, practitioners, and people seeking sanctuary to explore the processes of refugee integration. Situated in learnings from Scotland, the book offers theoretical, creative and practical responses for a wide international audience.

This Handbook brings together the viewpoints of academics, practitioners, artists and people seeking refuge in Scotland to explore the global learnings that can be gained from this context. The book engages with the challenge of delivering integration as multi-directional processes within a broader setting in which forced migration is often criminalised. Situating its analysis of integration in Scotland, the book combines chapters based in theory, which explore issues ranging from the concept of integration to law, borders and integration policy, with creative and practical responses to these issues. The book offers hopeful alternatives to current realities of forced migration, and a compelling challenge to dominant narratives related to refuge and integration. It will be of interest to practitioners, policymakers and scholars working with refugees and asylum seekers around the world.

This book will be open access under a CC BY ND licence.
